How Are Averages Calculated?

When you open a school, its results show a comparison such as "+12% vs avg". The average is the mean of the figures for every English state school in our data that reports that measure, each school counted once. For primary schools (14,923 with KS2 results), the average share of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is 63%, with average scaled scores of 105.6 in reading and 104.6 in maths. For secondary schools (3,274 with GCSE results), the average share of pupils getting grade 5 or above in English and maths is 46%, grade 4 or above 65%, and the average Attainment 8 score is 46.6. Because each school counts once whatever its size, these are school averages, not the share of all pupils in England.
